Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Swordsoffreedom]

Previously Milan were said to have started the season badly but anyway, the fact is that Milan are currently in third place and only one point different from Juventus who are at the top of the table. Thus, Milan is not really bad as previously assumed by predictors out there, because in fact Milan still has a chance to be able to compete for the Scudetto this season.

In the pre season matches we got to see excellent performances from AC Milan players. We felt that this group was very strong. And I thought AC Milan would fight for the Serie A title this season. And they have the ability to dominate Serie A. But since the beginning of the season we have seen very poor performances from Milan players.

Milan share the points with Torino and Lazio. And against a team as small as Parma, Milan were defeated. Milan's performance in the opening three games of the season was very poor. This is why they lost points. However, Milan has been able to gradually fix their weaknesses. And this team is in very good shape right now. Milan is performing well in every match. And Milan are now third in the table after winning three matches in a row.

Milan's squad is strong. And they have the potential to top the table. However, Milan's match strategy is still not predictable. However, if Milan can continue with such performance, AC Milan will fight for the Serie A title this season.

Overall, I agree with the picture you conveyed regarding the current condition of AC Milan. The manager transition and a little squad overhaul made AC Milan journey a little hampered, their adaptation process did not go as it should in the first few matches. Thanks to three consecutive wins, Paulo Fonseca can now be a little calmer, because the pressure on him has started to ease. However, they must maintain that performance to face Leverkusen in the Champions League, previously AC Milan could not do much at the San Siro when they were defeated by Liverpool.

The competition for the Scudetto this season is fiercer than last season, and I see Napoli benefiting from not appearing in any European competition. AC Milan must work harder to be able to win the Scudetto this season, we know they now have quite good squad depth. We'll see how far AC Milan can maintain their positive trend, what is clear is that the challenges ahead will be increasingly difficult and require a lot of luck.

Btw in another match today Milan won again with a fairly landslide score, after the victory in the Milan derby last week it looks like Milan are starting to get good confidence and can maximize the momentum they have.

My worries about AC Milan are now starting to lessen with the positive results they have continued to get in the last few weeks. So far in Serie A AC Milan has managed to win 3 matches in a row and I think this is all thanks to Fonseca who seems to be starting to find a suitable strategy for his team. I am happy that AC Milan was patient with Fonseca and did not make a hasty decision like the AS Roma club. And now the results are starting to show. But the next match AC Milan will compete again in the Champions League. And I hope they can get full points in this match. Because in the previous match AC Milan suffered a crushing defeat by Liverpool.

Looking in terms of the attacking scheme carried out in the game from the beginning of the season, there is actually no doubt for them, it's just that in this case before Fonseca could not balance between the attacking line and the defense line so that when the attacking line was good but the defense line seemed careless because there were several reasons such as being too busy in attacking and forgetting the defense area that was not well guarded when anticipating the counterattack.

But after several experiments Fonseca seems to have prepared more for this and it is evident in the last few matches that they always look strong and can even win with a fairly landslide score, especially for the first meeting in the Milan derby ended well so this could be a good momentum if Fonseca is maintained.

Anoter horrible result for Atalanta.
The good thing is that they avoided losing the game versus Bologna.

The bad part is that they were playing 11 vs 10 for half the game and they barely tied the game.
What's happened to them?

7 points in 6 games is a relegation median points.

Milan's squad is strong. And they have the potential to top the table. However, Milan's match strategy is still not predictable. However, if Milan can continue with such performance, AC Milan will fight for the Serie A title this season.

Actually the bad start was about the approach of their new coach's strategy which was not yet well understood by the players, but slowly but surely AC Milan has been able to show a good trend in Serie A because they were able to beat Inter Milan and also Lecce. The victory that AC Milan got when facing Inter Milan was a good start for them to improve their playing style and the match against Lecce where AC Milan was able to continue their winning trend.

AC Milan is now only 1 point behind Juventus who leads the standings so there is a big chance in the next few matches to lead the standings if they are able to maintain their winning trend. Inter Milan has also risen they want to take over the leader of the standings again. Well at the same time Juventus must be ready to perform better if not the two Milan will remove them at the top of the standings.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

If Torino manages to beat Lazio, then they will take over the top of the standings again. For me, it looks a little unique, because they managed to collect more points than Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Napoli who we consider as the Scudetto challengers this season. Although I still see Torino as a temporary nuisance, but they might be the team that can create many surprises this season. Torino will act as the host, they will certainly get full support from their own fans, Lazio clearly have to work hard to be able to bring home 3 points. On paper Lazio is more favored, but Torino ambition to create a sensation at the top of the standings cannot be underestimated.

That's right, Torino are in the spotlight because they were at the top of the standings yesterday and today Juventus took over, as you said Torino could be back at the top of the table if they beat Lazio tomorrow so the question is, can Torino beat Lazio? honestly i'm not really sure even though Lazio's game is inconsistent, they cannot be underestimated. I think both teams will play a draw and Torino are still in second place, due to goal difference unless Torino can win by 7 goals then they are ahead.

On the other hand, Inter Milan's performance is a little questionable, why are they in 4th place and concede more often? there are changes in the defense line which looks weaker than last season. Of course that could hinder them in their title race especially now the competition there is more competitive, their mainstay player Martinez also slightly declined in performance.

 I think something is not right in the Atalanta team right now and the coach needs to understand that the performance of his team is becoming worse considering how good they were last season, Bologna player was sent off and Bologna still managed to control the game making it difficult for Atalanta to dominate the game which they are supposed to considering that they were playing against a team that is one man down but they still couldn't score a goal until the last minute when they managed to equalize the goal. Atalanta is currently in the 9th place in the league table, they should be hoping to get better or they will see themselves in the relegation zone.

Getting a late goal in the 90th minute despite playing against a 10-man Bologna who their man J. Lucumí was sent off in the 51st minute of the game was a very poor outing for Atalanta.  We all saw how impressive Atalanta was last season which also made many people to back them to contend for the Italian Serie A title this season but considering their results in the league so far, they'll need to improve significantly to stand a chance of  competing for the league title. The club manager Gian Piero Gasperini is very experienced in his job and I hope he does something about his team's decline in form as fast as possible.

To be honest, the performance of both Bologna and Atalanta is quite bad to start this season. They were top clubs last season, but they started this season with very less than optimal results. Even both have the same points for now.

different from the result of Juventus, which was indeed as expected. Juventus was able to maximize the chances that existed so that they could win with an optimal score, 0 - 3 to strengthen them to continue unbeaten in Serie A so far.

Atlanta  is appearing really inconsistent this season and what the reason could be is something I don't really know currently because they didn't make much changes during the transfer so we couldn't say it's because of the new players or Coach but somehow it feels like they still need sometime and they will be up again because they have got a whole lot to handle this season and this ranges from their domestic league to the champions League which probably makes it more tedious for them than it was last season but I still believe they will have a decent finish by the end of the season.

This has been the most unlucky game for Atalanta. Our opponent, Bologna, was terrible in that game; they also got a red card. But we were unable to utilize it; we consistently played worse until we put lots of attackers on the pitch. We subbed off every defender and midfielder. We brought on more attackers. But we still bottled the win. This is not a good result for us.

[Bitcoin_people]

Juventus currently top the Italian side in the points table but few teams are coming up strongly to challenge them. We have seen that the second, third and fourth position teams in the points table are currently standing with 11 points and Juventus' 12 points, while Milan, Inter, Tornio are also there to compete. However, the great win that Juventus achieved against Genoa, they will definitely be more excited later on because if they don't play well from the beginning, they may fall behind in the points table competition. Moreover, the current squad that Juventus have formed is a strong one and if they play at their best, they will surely have enough merit to win the championship this season.

Atalanta is known with their strong attacking and obsession with attacks recent seasons but this season begins with very poor performances of their defensive players. After only first 6 matches in Serie A, they already got 12 conceded goals that make them about 2 conceded goals for each match. The rate of conceded goals is like a weak team, not a competitive team that usually finish Serie A in top six and last season won Europa League title.

Atalanta got two wins so far and these results helped them to have a little bit good standing but if they won't improve defensive system, soon they will get more bad results and fall deeply on the table to relegation zone. With their participation in Champions League, it will affect their performances in Serie A too dramatically.

But we still bottled the win. This is not a good result for us.

Bologna's performance has been poor this season. Out of 6 matches, this team managed to win only one match. In most of the matches we saw poor and erratic performances from Bologna players. Especially the defense of this team is very weak. Bologna players scored 7 goals in 6 matches. And conceded 9 goals. Bologna is behind because of bad defense.

Although this match is Bologna's home match, we consider Atalanta as the favourite. But Atalanta's performance disappointed us. Atalanta could not break Bologna's defense despite many attacks in the whole match. Bologna played defensively in this match. And they were able to fend off Atalanta's attacks.

Bologna defender John Lucumi received a red card early in the second half. And then I thought we'd see better gameplay from Atalanta. Because with 10 players, it was very difficult for Bologna to resist Atalanta's attacks. Nevertheless, Bologna played very well in this match and managed to secure 1 point.

We have seen that the second, third and fourth position teams in the points table are currently standing with 11 points and Juventus' 12 points, while Milan, Inter, Tornio are also there to compete.

Moreover, the current squad that Juventus have formed is a strong one and if they play at their best, they will surely have enough merit to win the championship this season.

The scudetto competitive race is going to be elite this season, having the presence of other top clubs that's mainly focused on the title, other priorities means nothing. Lifting the scudetto comes first on their list and achieving them, they need to stand strong enough and competitive for games, winning oppositions back to back. Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan falls in these category when we're talking about players that are competitive enough to hold on their longevity formidable form.

The game is stay strong and consistent with stellar performance, it's not about how far a team can go, what matters is how consistent and strong they can actually withstand the hurdles coming their paths, especially facing the crucial oppositions. Juventus ontop of the Seria A table this season, it's too considered to be early game because their stats are quite impressive but it will take more time to get acquainted with the fact that the Old lady's are all in for the scudetto this season. Do you think they're ready to rebound and take in good shape for the scudetto?

I don't know what happened to Atalanta, but they should identify those responsible for this as soon as possible. There is no sign of Atalanta, who made it to the finals last year in the Europa League and beat Bayer Leverkusen, the only undefeated team, three-nil, this year. They are in a position to lose points to every team this year. Also, although the opposing team played with 10 men for 40 minutes, Atalanta could only find the equalizer in the 90th minute. This is actually a big problem. Yes, their main forward suffered a long-term injury, but still, the offensive line should not have been this problematic.

[len01]

The results of yesterday's match were quite impressive, and it seems my prediction for the Genoa vs Juventus game was very wrong.  At first, I thought that Juventus would get the same result as before due to their inconsistency leading to draws. And according to the H2H record, both teams had a great chance of ending in a draw, but it turned out that Juventus performed better in yesterday's match.




And today is waiting for the results of this match. I hope Napoli can score at least 3 goals or more. Because Monza is in a bad state and Roma should be able to secure a victory, but I hope Venezia puts up a fight, at least 1 goal would be better.

[ajanwalker]

Torino are in great form, even though they lost 1-2 to Empoli in the Italian Cup and were eliminated from the cup.
Lazio is very out of form, but they went on to defeat Dynamo Kiev away in the UEFA Europa League.
I didn't know whether to bet on the Torino - Lazio match saying Torino would win or if there would be more than 2.5 goals in the match.
Torino shows that they are aiming for the top places in the league this year, but I hope the lack of an away win against Lazio does not deceive me.

I think Gasperini's seat is shaky. Atalanta is playing very poorly compared to last year. Especially in the last game, scoring goals against their opponent who was down to ten men was a big problem. To tell the truth, they are now very far from the championship in the Italian league. Forget about their championship fight, it is a miracle that they even achieved the ranking to go to the Champions League. Because despite the league just starting, they lost a lot of points.

[Rustam Meraj]

Atalanta shocking drop in performance from last year Europa League finals to now struggling against weaker teams is very alarming and needs immediate action. They failed to take advantage of playing against team with tie showing big problems. Losing their main forward to injury is tough but Atalanta attack and overall poor form indicate deeper issues with strategy and team spirit. To regain strength Atalanta must quickly find and fix these problems and rebuild teamwork and boost their attack to avoid more disappointing results and staying stuck in league.
